A 000-28 inspired by the great years: Martin's DNA subtly revisited
Part of the Standard series, the 000-28 1935 Sunburst Golden Era is rooted in the Martin heritage that helped define the sound of the modern acoustic guitar. Handmade in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, it highlights traditional lutherie choices such as the dovetail neck joint and X-bracing. This "Golden Era" version takes the vintage feel even further while incorporating adjustments designed for playability and vibrational transmission.
For which guitarists and styles?
With its 000 format appreciated for balance and precision, this Martin is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an expressive instrument, responsive to touch and rich in nuances. It excels in fingerstyle, delicate accompaniment, folk, blues, and all approaches where right-hand dynamics and note articulation matter. Its neck comfort and "vintage-inspired" feel also make it an excellent partner for long sessions, both in the studio and at home.
Sound
The core of its character comes from the Golden Era (GE) X-bracing in Sitka spruce, designed to deliver a more "breathing" response and vintage-inspired resonance, with enhanced sustain. The solid wood construction promotes a progressive opening of the sound over time, with greater harmonic complexity and better register separation. In terms of lutherie, the dovetail joint contributes to excellent vibration transmission between neck and body, while the thinner fingerboard with slightly beveled edges improves the feel under the fingers without sacrificing precision.
